South Korea’s central bank on Thursday cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 3% in a surprise move.

Economists polled by Reuters had estimated the bank to hold rates at 3.25%.

This is the second straight cut as the Bank of Korea lowered rates by 25 basis points in its last meeting in October as well.
